British supermodel Naomi Campbell is no stranger to court appearances.

In 2000 she pleaded guilty to attacking her assistant with a telephone in a hotel room. In 2006 she admitted hitting her housekeeper with a jewel-encrusted mobile phone, and in 2008 she was arrested at London's Heathrow airport on suspicion of assaulting a police officer, then, earlier this year, a limousine driver filed a report with the New York City Police Department claiming that Campbell had slapped and punched him.

Now, Campbell would have to appear before The Hague Special Court, after being subpoenaed to testify against former Libyan president Charles Taylor, who allegedly gifted her with blood diamonds.

Campbell is believed to be in possession of one blood diamond, but her ex-aide said she was actually given six stones.

Taylor is accused of fuelling a civil war in Sierra Leone and is said to have provided arms to rebel soldiers in return for rough, uncut diamonds.

Campbell met Taylor while she attended Nelson Mandela's Children's Fund in South Africa in 1997 and the story goes that the dictator was so smitten by the supermodel that he gave her a large diamond as a token of his affection.
